Hot gas and liquid (high pressure)Low pressure (cold)Heating waterAirCutaway of a generic air-to-water heat pump (monobloc, refrigerant R290, about 8 kW), heating mode. Figures come from manufacturer datasheets and NIST fluid data; rating point A7/W35 per EN 14511; field-test value: Fraunhofer ISE 2025. Pressures and temperatures in the cycle are assumed for that point.
1.6 kW of electricity makes 8 kW of heatAbout 6.4 kW come from the outside air. Follow the cycle: compressor, heat exchanger, expansion valve, evaporator. Or tap any part.
  • 8 kW at A7/W35
  • COP ≈ 5
  • R290 (propane) · about 0.9 kg
